Chapter 538: Yanjing City
Because it might take a while to persuade the other party, the three of them packed some luggage and planned to stay in the Capital City for a while. They also wanted to see if they could find out something about Han Jing’s identity, as Lan Ling suggested.
Han Jing honestly didn’t care much about what her identity was, because, for her, it really didn’t hold any meaning.
Firstly, she wasn’t the old Han Jing, and secondly, she already had a wonderful mother in Su Yaogeng and an adorable daughter in Xiao Xue. Once she gets Su Yu back, their family will be happily united, so why should she care about who gave birth to her?
No matter who gave birth to her, she was abandoned back then. If it was fate, she’d just accept it, right?
So, Han Jing really didn’t care about this matter at all.
Whether they uncover it or not, the truth didn’t matter much to her.
Not to attract attention, the three of them disguised themselves a bit. But no matter how they tried to disguise, they couldn’t hide Lan Ling’s face that looked like a fairy’s, which made Han Jing couldn’t help but want to dress him in women’s clothes and pretend they were three sisters. However, Lan Ling firmly refused!
As Lan Ling said himself, whether he’s straight or bent, he’s still a man!
Absolutely no women’s clothes!
The group argued all the way because of this matter, even Xiao Xue didn’t side with Lan Ling, but Lan Ling was adamantly unyielding this time. Finally, both sides made a compromise by giving Lan Ling a deep-colored cloth robe usually worn by coachmen, which Lan Ling complained about all the way.
Since he was a child... he loved beauty and had never worn such dark, ugly, and rough fabric clothes!
Lan Ling had his brows knitted all the way to the Yanjing City gate and couldn’t relax them.
As they drove the carriage into the city, they heard all sorts of vendor calls from the street.
The whole person of little girl Xiao Xue got all fired up.
The farthest she’d ever gone before was to the Wengshan Sect, taken there by Ling Xiang last time. Her usual range of activity was just Ghost Immortal Town, and the busiest place she had seen was also Ghost Immortal Town.
But now that she was in Yanjing City, she finally realized what "beyond the heavens there is heaven" meant!
As a little bun Xiao Xue completely forgot all four of her promises to her mother, and before Han Jing could pull her back, she slipped out of the carriage and jumped down.
Lan Ling was still driving the carriage and hadn’t stopped when the little girl had already darted to the street stall, drooling over roasted sweet potatoes.
The little girl had never seen such a rare thing before. Staring at the fragrant, golden roasted sweet potatoes, her whole face glowed with delight.
Han Jing and An Chuxue got off the carriage to follow her, thinking they shouldn’t have rushed in by carriage; if they had just taken the little girl straight to the inn, there would’ve been no problem.
Now, unless the little girl was too full to walk, they wouldn’t be able to move.
Han Jing waved to Lan Ling to find a good inn first, and when the little girl was tired out from playing, they’d return.
Since it was a rare trip out, Han Jing felt a bit sorry for the little girl.
To little bun Xiao Xue, who had just discovered a new world, everything seemed incredibly novel, with fragrant scents wafting from all directions that she couldn’t get enough of. And all those exquisite trinkets—she had never seen or heard of anything like them! What amazed her the most was that someone could actually make art with sugar!
Little bun Xiao Xue was completely overwhelmed by this magical world. Clutching a sugar painting excitedly, she waved her chubby little paws at her mother, running with her short legs, completely oblivious to the person ahead, into whom she inevitably ran!
